GENDER & STEM CONFERENCE 2014

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST IN GENDER AND STEM CONFERENCE 2014.

CONFERENCE REGISTRATION IS CLOSED NOW.

2nd Gender & STEM Network Conference

Gender and STEM: What schools, families, and workplaces can do?
3—5 July 2014, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany

The first conference in 2012 focused on individual gendered pathways towards (and away from) STEM fields. In 2014, we highlight the roles of schools, families and workplaces for supporting or constraining girls/women and boys/men to choose and persist in STEM, versus other pathways.

This conference aims to present empirical research and educational policies, concerning how individual and social aspects impact individuals’ motivation, attitudes, performance, educational and career choices and pathways into STEM fields. Complementary perspectives will address how such pathways can be facilitated at various points along students’ and young adults’ educational and occupational development.

The planned conference is an initiative of the Gender & STEM Network:www.genderandstem.com

Members of the network share the following objectives:

  • to gain more insight into the various connected aspects of career choices and professional careers of girls/women (and boys/men) in the direction of STEM;
  • to detect new approaches to actually improve the underrepresentation of girls/women in STEM.

An important aim of this conference is to further extend the interdisciplinary collaboration of educational and psychological researchers, to move beyond results which highlight single aspects. Implications for educational and vocational training and practice will be discussed.

See Call for papers 2014 for more details about deadlines and submission formats.

We hope to welcome you in Berlin in the summer of 2014! The timing is deliberately chosen to precede ICAP 2014 in Paris, 8-13 July (open symposium proposals due 15 Nov., see:http://www.icap2014.com/call-for-open-symposia/open-symposia-submission/97).
